Gents, I just had my first experience with CI. As many of you know, I have been a very loyal and frequent CB customer for some time, and have been very satisfied. Knowing CI's association with CB, I had no worries about doing business with CI. Therefore, when I saw a special deal on La Luna LHB I jumped at the chance to try CI out. I ordered the LHB Robusto over three weeks ago. After not receiving them, and hearing nothing after two weeks, I took the initiative and called to check on them. The customer service agent informed me you were out of that size, and was not sure if you would ever get more in. (Good thing I was not counting on them for a special occasion or get-together, etc.) It seems to me, I should have been notified, and at least given another choice. I chose another size (the Churchill...not offered at the same price mind you). At this time I have not received the cigars after 3 weeks. I am a bit put out as I had assumed CI and CB to be the same entity. I have found that this is not the case. Does anyone know specifics of their relationship? After having nothing but great experiences here I am a bit confused....I never even received confirmation of my orders, which is standard at CB. Anyone have similar or contrary experiences?
